How to up Japanese ibus-anthy on GNOME 45.0? a quickstart guide from a newbie

this is a posible solution to This issue

what i did to set it up:
Install anthy: yay -S ibus-anthy

Run: ibus-setup

Add the next lines to the .bash_profile file:

export GTK_IM_MODULE=ibus
export XMODIFIERS=@im=ibus
export QT_IM_MODULE=ibus

setup anthy at my likings adding the custom font: SourceSansHanJPBold (as far as i know you can set it up as you would like and choose the font you like if it is the same as the lenguage you want to write)

after that i setup the keyboard on the system by doing:

configuration>keyboard>add keyboard>others>[search Japanese]>add

you add the keyboard and once you do it you´ll just need to click on the key right below to the [ESC] key, it should change the characters displayed to Hiragana or Romanji depending on what font you want to use, have luck and i hope this helped even a bit!

Note: The Kana/Romanji change key works for my keyboard distribution, it could change for yours depending on your keyboard distribution

next ahead some specs and system info for you to have a idea on what i run this settings!
